I am curious how much a Slant weighs vs. a
318.
318.
Would be great if somebody made an alum head for the slant, but maybe after pigs fly.
how much weight was the cast crank than steel? thanksThe 475 lb number is pretty accurate and that would include the alternator, intake and exhaust. I have weighed nearly everything on a slant. While the cast crank is lighter than the forged ones, the later heads, without spark plug tubes, weigh more so it all sort of evens out.
Thanks for posting that! Why are there 2 sets of numbers?
Awesome info! thanksAs far as weights on a slant six go, I picked and chose various year parts to install on a 79 cast crank engine. I got the total weight down to just under 400 pounds. That is engine, carb, intake, exhaust, alternator, pulleys, motor mounts, and starter.
